Caring for Your Baby and Young Child 5th Edition Birth to Age 5 Review
This book was a gift that we were given from the hospital after we had our daughter, but I would gladly have paid for this book. Although no book is match your values and parenting styles exactly, this is a great book to have as a reference and to use for building ideas on both things that matter and things that are less important. In my daughter's 18 months of living it has come in pretty handy
